When you cite DVDs and webcasts in APA format, remember that the speaker is not important in your citations; it does not matter who gave the presentation. Instead, for DVDs, webcasts, and online videos, use the publisher of the source as well as the year of publication to create citations.

*See the Academic Skills Center's Microsoft Word tutorials for APA formatting to learn how to create a hanging indent for your reference entries.

 

Note: If you do not know the year the video was published, APA allows for you to use (n.d.) for no date.
